subsidiary of Aviall, Inc. (NYSE:AVL) announced today, that in partnership with
Rolls-Royce Corporation, we are offering price reductions across selected
turbine and gearshaft assemblies installed on the Rolls-Royce Model 250 gas
turbine engine. These reductions, which range from 15% to 22% on 17 high value
items of the 1,500 stocked by Aviall, are a result of the logistics partnership
forged between Rolls-Royce and Aviall over the past 3 years.

development and plans to increase our market share," said Dan Komnenovich,
Executive Vice-President of Aviall Services, Inc. "With this announcement, we

raised availability to an unprecedented 99% level", he added.

         The Model 250 has set the standard for turboshafts in the 420-715 shp
power class, and is one of the industry's most trusted engines, celebrating 160
million hours of operation in 2003. Combining ease of operation with a high
power-to-weight ratio, the Model 250 family includes a range of turboshaft
variants, plus a compact turboprop derivative. Over 28,500 Model 250 engines
have to date been built for over 125 different applications, and over 16,000
